Alden Richards renews contract with GMA Records, prepares for a new album.
Pambansang Bae Alden Richards is happy to count more years with GMA Records as he renewed his recording contract last Friday, January 5.
TREATING FANS TO THEME PARK AND CONCERT: Alden Richards turned a year older last January 2. To celebrate his birthday, the singer-actor gathered his loyal supporters and treated them to a fun day at Enchanted Kingdomon January 6.
The fans had a great time. Apart from enjoying the rides in the theme park the whole day wearing personalized blue shirts with “One Fun Day with the Bae” printed on them, they also got up close and personal with the Pambansang Bae.
In the evening, Alden’s friends from GMA Artist Center entertained the audience through song and dance numbers. Bea Binene, Kristoffer Martin, Rodjun Cruz, and boybands T.O.P. (Top One Project) and One Up performed in the special event.
ALDEN IN 2018: Alden is among the most grounded among our young actors. People who have known him from the start of his career, including myself, swear by how he hasn’t changed a bit.
His thoughtful gesture to his fans is proof of how he values them, and people he encounters along the way.
Early in January this year, Alden hosted a thanksgiving lunch for the entertainment media. He generously shared his blessings through raffles and loot bags that contained sample products of his so many endorsements.
Happily, he said, endorsements keep coming in. The old ones have also beenrenewing their contracts.
Alden refused to comment on his new TV and movie projects, saying that they will soon be announced in another press conference.
In December, Tony Tuviera of APT Entertainment, however, stated that the planned Alden-Maine Mendoza second film is pushing through early this year.
Meanwhile, talks are rife that Alden is pairing with Jasmine Curtis Smith in a new teleserye for GMA. Jasmine is currently without a network.
Early in January this year, Alden also renewed his contract with GMA Records. He is at present preparing cuts for a new album.
